A recipe for hormone health

When it comes to hormone balance, balanced meals play a huge role. This is because hormonal imbalances are often part of the bigger picture when insulin resistance is present, as is the case with PCOS for example. For this reason, it is important to have a good balance between proteins, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates.

This recipe is the perfect interplay of the three, also having the benefits of anti-inflammatory omega-3s and plenty of gut-loving, plant-derived ingredients.
